November's #sewcialists theme is all about Tried and True (TNT) patterns. I don't make second versions of a lot of my makes, partly because I'm trying to keep up with the #wardrobebuilder project, and partly because I have too many ideas in my make list! That said, I have found that there are a few patterns that have made themselves into the repeat list - two of which are brand new makes today. Often I alter the pattern a little from the previous make to suit a new purpose, or from lessons learned after wearing. Here are my top TNTs...

Camel coloured Burda 6736 Coat
![Burda 6736 Coat review by the petite passions](https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjmkMq-pkv6SENcF4gWYDt-1_TLBdZyEnoXrmXncQDJ9JrOFRa65OhKxBK2MBuGIRwnCJU07mIrCUpeuhwCzKcSgbke02MKS8yJq1s6xFVD15EEf5r2-UYWY8VA6VfMBD_HSjYwHWJ_bq0/s1600/DSC01308.jpg)
After looking around at lots of patterns for coats I finally settled on the Burda 6736. It has a simple shape that I felt wouldn't be too tricky for my first coat project and would look good with skinny jeans. It really was a simple coat to construct because it also doesn't require a complicated collar......and I loved working with wool for this coat.

the #wardrobebuilder project - Coats and Jackets
![the #wardrobebuilder project - Coats and Jackets](https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEieQpYYuznVQeiKmcyYDqZSB06OAj1tQsV7BpSQtODmUQf5ceqaMDJzphl0ysoU3WWozNQeEzes3xkllbomPyiCZhQV-W2zltyYgrVBQZVDe_p-rZ81qmKuq3xt3VoX6GlQfikbyWFUfws/s1600/%2523wardrobebuilder+oct+%25281%2529.png)
This one is definitely more challenging than some of the other #wardrobebuilder themes, but I'm looking forward to getting stuck into a larger project. There are some amazing coat and jacket patterns out there just itching to add themselves to our handmade wardrobes! I have a feeling that taking on a coat project has the potential to feel like going down the rabbit hole in terms of fabrics, notions and new techniques....let's see!
